“Since adopting Anhui QianDe Intelligent Technology’s Vertical Sort Module (VSM), our electronic parts storage has completely moved away from the disorder and inefficiency of the past. High-frequency inbound and outbound handling runs smoothly every day, connecting seamlessly with R&D and production. This kind of stability under high-intensity use is exactly what our instrumentation industry values most.”
— Warehouse and Logistics Manager, an Instrument Manufacturer in Weihai
An instrument manufacturer in Weihai is a comprehensive enterprise deeply engaged in the industrial intelligence sector. Its business covers R&D, production, and sales of instruments and meters, electronic computer technology services, software development, and the manufacturing of complete industrial automation equipment. Its products are widely used in industrial control, intelligent monitoring, and other scenarios. Its core storage needs focus on precision materials such as electronic parts, components, and small instrument assemblies. With diversified technical services and product systems, the company has built a strong reputation in the industry.
Before 2024, the Weihai instrument manufacturer managed its warehouse with traditional flat shelving. As the business expanded, the number of electronic parts and components exceeded one thousand types, and warehouse management gradually became a bottleneck limiting efficiency:
Storage space was running short: precision electronic parts needed to be stored separately, but traditional shelving had low space utilization. Material accumulation continued to reduce the available space.
Inbound and outbound efficiency was low: electronic components of different specifications were scattered across the warehouse. Finding them required manual searching one by one, and retrieving materials from higher positions relied on ladders, which was time-consuming and created safety risks.
Labor costs stayed high: employees had to move back and forth between shelves frequently to carry and count materials. The repetitive work was intensive and also made it easy to pick the wrong parts or miss items.
Process coordination was delayed: delays in the warehouse directly affected instrument assembly and R&D trial progress. Occasional material shortages forced passive adjustments to the production plan.
Recalling how the company first connected with Anhui QianDe Intelligent Technology, the manager said: “At the end of 2024, while browsing industrial automation cases on Douyin, I happened to see an application video of Anhui QianDe’s Vertical Sort Module (VSM). The high-density precision material storage solution shown in the video matched our electronic parts management needs very well. In particular, the successful local enterprise cases helped us dispel concerns about immature technology and insufficient adaptability, and showed us a practical solution.”
After further evaluation, the Weihai instrument manufacturer found that Anhui QianDe Intelligent Technology not only had independent R&D and production capabilities for the Vertical Sort Module (VSM), but could also provide customized zoning and sorting solutions for the multi-specification, high-precision storage needs of electronic parts. Its fast-response localized after-sales service further reassured the team. In early 2025, the company decided to purchase one Vertical Sort Module (VSM) for pilot use, officially starting its smart warehouse transformation.
Zero-failure high-frequency sorting: the equipment consistently maintained stable operation, with no delays or jamming, making it a strong fit for the instrumentation industry’s multi-batch, small-batch, high-frequency storage and retrieval needs.
Precise positioning protects precision materials: using servo drive and laser positioning technology, the fork achieves millimeter-level alignment accuracy when picking and placing materials. The sorting process is smooth and vibration-free, effectively preventing electronic parts and components from damage caused by collision or friction.
Fast-to-learn intelligent sorting: equipped with an intelligent warehouse management system and seamlessly connected with the original ERP system, it supports electronic parts classification, batch traceability, and inventory alerts. The graphical touchscreen interface is intuitive and easy to understand. Operators can master the full process of inbound sorting, outbound retrieval, and inventory counting within 30 minutes, without additional training costs.
High-density storage saves space: the stacked three-dimensional layout makes full use of vertical space, increasing storage density by 3-5 times compared with traditional shelving. It accommodates more than one thousand types of electronic parts using only one third of the original warehouse area, greatly freeing floor space for R&D trials or production line expansion.
Solid quality stands up to testing: the equipment frame uses high-strength alloy components with anti-corrosion surface treatment. The stacking guide rails and transmission parts are precisely calibrated, wear-resistant, and durable, fully meeting the long-term safe storage needs of precision materials and demonstrating the strict standards of high-quality domestic manufacturing.
In the second half of 2025, based on the stable performance and efficiency gains of the first Vertical Sort Module (VSM), the Weihai instrument manufacturer decisively purchased a second unit, further improving its smart warehouse layout and driving storage management toward a deeper transformation of “automated sorting + refined control.”
“We chose Anhui QianDe’s Vertical Sort Module (VSM) not to blindly pursue the label of ‘intelligence,’ but because it truly solved the core pain points of precision electronic parts storage. Its stable operation means we no longer need to worry about material access efficiency or safety issues. It has not only greatly improved coordination between warehousing and production, but also given us the confidence to accelerate R&D innovation and business expansion.”
